Still prices in California can range between $2.49 to $2.86 per gallon for the lowest priced regular gas. Now watch the Oakland Refinery fires of a couple days ago shoot the price up over $3.00/gallon. Crude high prices go up, crude low prices go up.

Last month we turned the heater on in the pool while we were keeping Heidi, my grand dog! We got the bill and it was $600. I hope natural gas prices at least stabilize???…

Carol...Is that Heidi in the picture? My grand dog is a weimeraner. AND she is so energetic! IF we could bottle that energy we would not have to worry about an energy crisis...I spoil her rotten. I can’t imagine what I will do when I get a human grandchild???

Neiman:

Overlooking a few things, are we?

1. CA requires special blends of gasoline. This limits the supply, because there’s only so many refineries that can make it. Any one of those refineries gets damaged, the supply gets cut further.

2. Environmental regs add costs. The more you have, the more costs. CA has more than anywhere else. It also has a full compliment of professional complainers to keep the lawsuits (and all the costs associated with them) coming.... whether they have any merit or not.

3. Taxes. CA looooves high taxes on business. Tax bills ain’t affected by the price of crude.

And all of those things, Nieman, and more I haven’t named, make your state expensive to bring gasoline to. Don’t like it? “Democracy is dedicated to the proposition that the People know what they want, and deserve to get it, good and hard.” BOHICA, baby!

SDN: Why are you attacking me? I agree about everything you said about California. I didn’t mention all the issues because that wasn’t the point I was making about the Oakland refinery.

I should say that despite your attacks, if you go just to Sacramento or other areas of the state, gas prices are much lower. In Los Angeles and around the Bay Area it is the pollution control districts that play the biggest part in keeping our prices high, so we suffer because of the damn liberals.
